Hello treasures,
It sounds like you are going through a difficult time feeling very unwell which of course is frightening and you do not know where to turn for help. You mention that you were worried about your symptoms which is understandable as you’re away from home at the weekend and it was your daughter’s birthday
You do not mention in your message if you have had a breast cancer diagnosis and treatments although it sounds like you may have as you posted on our forum.
Nearly everyone who has been treated for cancer worries about it coming back (recurrence) and you’re not alone in being anxious about this. The uncertainty and fear of breast cancer returning is very real. At first, every ache or pain may frighten you. It is reassuring to hear that the headscan, CT and abdominal ultrasound you had recently were all fine.
It is difficult to say what the cause of your symptoms might be and who the right person is for you to turn to, we would suggest you make with your GP to discuss your symptoms as often feeling unwell may not be due to a previous cancer diagnosis and treatment.
